events in ways that appeal to its intended audience.

 TYPES OF JOURNALISTICWRITING:
1. NEWS REPORT - is found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform readers of what
is happening in the world around them. News reports have a certain structure that you
need to follow. This structure is sometimes called the Inverted Pyramid.

2. OPINION ARTICLE - is a written prose piece typically published by a newspaper or

magazine which expresses the opinion of an author usually not affiliated with the
publication's editorial board. It tackles recent events and issues, and attempts to formulate
viewpoints based on an objective analysis of happenings and conflicting/contrary opinions.

3. FEATURE ARTICLE - written to give more depth to topical events, people or issues. Written
by an expert or a journalist, these texts provide background information on a newsworthy
topic as well as the writer's personal slant or experience.

4. SPORTS NEWS STORY - is a form of writing that reports on matters pertaining to sporting
topics and competitions.

Making an Outline

Outlining is an important skill which helps one

understand and remember the things read. Outlines do not
always have to be written. One can develop the ability to make
mental outlines, especially if the material is short and easy.

An outline is a diagram in words. It is a method of

organizing information according to main ideas, major details, and
supporting details.

PURPOSE OF OUTLINING:
1. It helps the reader understand and remember.
2. It helps the writer organize his/her ideas.

 KINDS OF OUTLINE:
1. A free-form outline is constructed like a diagram with the main idea in the center and
related information branched off from it. It helps the reader to recall the information
easily.
Study the example below.

Christmas
Christmas is a great event that will always hold magic in the heart of humanity. Many
believe that it is the birthday of mankind’s savior, Jesus Christ. For a minority, Christmas is
a religious commemoration, the highlight of the Christian year. For a majority, it is merely a
feast and a holiday, and is kept by them because their earliest memories of celebration and
family reunion go back to Christmas day.

2. A modified outline uses main ideas as headings and lists important details under each
heading. The details are numbered, lettered, or marked to make them easy to locate.
The following modified outline shows notes on the passage about Christmas.

Christmas
1. A great event that holds magic
2. The birth of mankind’s savior, Jesus Christ.
3. A religious commemoration; the highlight of the Christian year
4. A feast and a holiday

3. A formal outline follows a conventional format where details are divided into smaller
subsections under each main idea. This outline is useful for taking detailed notes from
textbooks or reference books. It is also helpful in preparing papers and speeches.
A formal outline is either a topic or a sentence outline. A topic outline gives the main
ideas and minor details in words or in phrases. A sentence outline presents the main
ideas and minor details in complete sentences. One should use one or the other kind of
outline but not in the same outline.
Examine carefully the following example.
An Efficient Communication Arts Teacher
An efficient communication arts teacher has many important characteristics. First, the
efficient teacher uses the language competently. The teacher’s ability to conceptualize the
structure and function of the language he teaches enables him to identify the knowledge
and skills that students need and to break complex concepts and abilities into “lesson-
sized” experiences. He has the ability to interact with students, stimulate their interest in
language, and motivate them to learn the skills they need. He shows a healthy interest in
literature. He should effectively convey the idea that reading is enjoyable and that books
are sources of enjoyment as well as of knowledge. He also possesses a positive attitude
toward the communication arts curriculum. His thoughts and attitudes should be
communicated to his students even when these are not stated directly. Most importantly, a
good communication arts teacher applies a various methods/approaches and strategies of
teaching to meet the students’ individual needs.

Some paragraphs are long. By “reducing” a paragraph to an outline, you can easily
understand and remember the concepts you have read. The value of an outline is its
brevity, its short appearance.

TWO GOOD WAYS TO SHORTEN AN OUTLINE OF A LONG PARAGRAPH

1. Omit any word, phrase, or sentence that is not really important to the thought of the
paragraph.
2. Combine two sentences in the outline, if they are sufficiently related.

To create an outline:

1. Place your thesis statement at the beginning.

2. List the major points that support your thesis. Label them in Roman Numerals (I, II, III, etc.).
3. List supporting ideas or arguments for each major point. Label them in capital letters (A, B,
C, etc.).
4. If applicable, continue to sub-divide each supporting idea until your outline is fully developed.
Label them 1, 2, 3, etc., and then a, b, c, etc.

IV. Check your Understanding:

1. Find the latest news report online and create an outline using either Sentence Outline or
Topic Outline. Submit your output in the Moodle.
Instructions:
You can write it down and upload the photo and upload or you can use MS Word and upload
the file in the Moodle.
